ncs 2.7.0 toolchain installation does not work

ziv123

hello Nordic

trying to migrate from ncs 2.5.0 to 2.7.0

well i did the mistake of installing the toolchain via the vs code .. for some reason it installed it in the wrong directory .. then i did an uninstall and try to install it like i always did via the nrfconnect desktop application but when i try to do it now i get this error:

There are multiple errors:
Failed to clone the repositories: Error: FATAL ERROR: already initialized in /home/ziv/workspace/ncs, aborting. Hint: if you do not want a workspace there, remove this directory and re-run this command:

/home/ziv/workspace/ncs/.west Error: Launched process exited with non-zero status: 1

Error: FATAL ERROR: already initialized in /home/ziv/workspace/ncs, aborting. Hint: if you do not want a workspace there, remove this directory and re-run this command:

/home/ziv/workspace/ncs/.west Error: Launched process exited with non-zero status: 1

any idea how i can fix this issue

could the wrong installation directory caused me to fail on compilation and getting undefined on some function calls ?

p.s. On vs code after i try to uninstall and change installation directory i get this error: the argument '--install-dir <PATH>' cannot be used multiple times Usage: nrfutil toolchain-manager install [OPTIONS] <--ncs-version <VERSION>|--toolchain-bundle-id <HASH>|--toolchain-bundle <PATH>> For more information, try '--help'.

could the toolchain initial wrong installation directory cause me to fail on compilation and get ‘undefined’ on some function calls ? i actually don't think so cause tried with toolchain 2.6.1 which is installed on the right directory and still get the undefined issue  (Missing Forum Thread) 

Any ideas ?

hope to read from you soon

best regards

    I would try to only delete the one that you installed the latest, which I guess is 2.7.0? The latest toolchains are named by their "bundle_id", and not the name of the NCS version, but you should be able to look them up in the toolchains.json file found in the "toolchains" folder.

    i deleted the dir that was created in the wrong place of the 2.7.0, in my current dir that i which to install the 2.7.0 this is the json

      {
    "default_toolchain": {
      "ncs_version": "v2.7.0"
    },
    "schema": 1,
    "toolchains": [
      {
        "identifier": {
          "ncs_version": "v2.1.2"
        },
        "ncs_versions": [
          "v2.1.2"
        ]
      },
      {
        "identifier": {
          "ncs_version": "v2.1.0"
        },
        "ncs_versions": [
          "v2.1.0"
        ]
      },
      {
        "identifier": {
          "ncs_version": "v2.3.0"
        },
        "ncs_versions": [
          "v2.3.0"
        ]
      },
      {
        "identifier": {
          "bundle_id": "7795df4459"
        },
        "ncs_versions": [
          "v2.5.0"
        ]
      },
      {
        "identifier": {
          "bundle_id": "2be090971e"
        },
        "ncs_versions": [
          "v2.6.1"
        ]
      }

    Hello Ziv,

    Also make sure to delete v2.7.0 of ncs in the folder that you are trying to install NCS v2.7.0, and then try installing it from nRF Connect for Desktop. What does it look like if it fails?

    BR,

    after i have tried to delete from ncs/downloads and from the ncs/toolchain dir .. i still see 2.7.0 as default in the toolchain.json, which seems like i can not change

    There are multiple errors:
Failed to clone the repositories: Error: FATAL ERROR: already initialized in 
/home/ziv/workspace/ncs, aborting. Hint: if you do not want a workspace there, 
remove this directory and re-run this command:

    Can you confirm that you have deleted the folder home/ziv/workspace/ncs before you tried again? Alternatively, if you don't want to delete it because you have older SDKs there, you can create a new folder, like home/ziv/test/ncs/ and point to this folder using the nRF Connect for Desktop -> Toolchain Manager:
